Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Just to stick with what I have seen before, I’m going to go with Bizet’s Carmen. It’s a very nicely done production that I was particularly impressed with. Slayers Revolution and Evolution R will be going in my Netflix Queue.” Blaine says, “similarly, Charade is the title I can strongly recommend based on past viewing. However, given the strength of the first season, Castle: Season Two is a must-own title for me.”

  1. +1 for Castle Season 2 here. Also, How I Met Your Mother is surprisingly enjoyable for a sitcom. (And stars Alyson Hannigan, among others)

    I didn’t realize Mythbusters was up to vol. 6. They release the oddest sets, it seems. I’d much prefer full seasons.

  2. Just want to mention that Spartacus: Blood and Sand was pretty good, except for the CGI blood (‘real’ fake blood I’m OK with). I mean we waited HOW long to see Lucy Lawless naked? Plus it was pretty decent drama.
